Traffic is currently being diverted in Paget this evening [Sept 1] as the police are seeking a suspect who failed to stop for police, was subsequently involved in a collision with another motorcyclist and then fled the scene on foot.

A police spokesperson said, “Around 8:16pm police were conducting inquiries in the area of Middle Road and Ord Road in Paget when they attempted to stop a male suspect.

“The suspect failed to stop for police and was subsequently involved in a collision with another motorcyclist. The suspect fled the scene on foot and police are actively seeking this man. No one involved in the collision was injured.

“Traffic is currently being diverted between S Hill and Valley Road Paget. No further details surrounding this incident will be given as this is an active investigation.”

And just what are the chances of that? Well probably HIGH now that this has happened. How much would you like to wager that if the bike is reported stolen it was reported conveniently around the time of this incident?
